The railway system in Great Britain is the oldest in the world.
Wagonways were built in Britain in the 1560s and soon spread across the
country. The first locomotive-hauled public railway opened in 1825.

And you're still using the originals tracks and rolling stock.


Also, Britain was the world's first underground railway. Opened in 1863.
